There is a riot cop at 0:24 & 0:25 overseeing the whole thing. One with a gas mask & pepper shotgun. Or is that "fake". Also one of the national guard guys has a sidearm.

What about the poor acting? ;}

Check out 1:13 - two different/distinct shades of blue.

- You can hear the fan blowing the leaves of the fake trees

- The trees in the background only blow around right before his reporting, or during the reporting. During the bloopers they are more-or-less still.

- 4:05 "We can't show you anything else than what you're seeing right now, because of military regulations"

Yeah, okay buddy.

I could go on, but I'll just post a bit from the video description:

The first part of this video shows the stage set he was on, and he was clowning around with fellow CNN staff. The Saudi Arabian "hotel" in the background were fake palm trees and a blue wall in a studio. This clip was leaked by CNN staff.

The second part of this video was a live CNN satellite feed recorded onto VHS showing the final cut. Charles Jaco was wearing a different jacket, but he had the same act. The acting was terrible as Charles Jaco wore a gas mask, and his fellow correspondent Carl Rochelle wore a helmet. The sirens and missile sound effects are part of the stage set. The camera never pans out or shows the sky.

you rock, one of the first people to talk to me and welcome me on the sift. must be our Vagina power connection. what other kind of art do u do and where can I see it? ( Loved the one of the guy in the gas mask holding the diamond) I do printmaking, pen and ink, photography and ive been painting in oil since i was 12. Glad to have a fellow lady artist around Congrats you play on Steam right? add me "colonoscopy"

YAY! Congrats, you scary gas mask with a brush in the eye. Here's some A$$ GR@V33 for you, too!

Here's Bubba, and here's my gas mask because Bubba ate a bean burrito...

Bike cop with gas mask and the riot squads? OMFG, *fear.

OMFG, were the cops THROWING or LAUNCHING flash bangs at the protestors? This is absolutely INSANE.

Must have gas mask.. because of all that 'WMD intent'

I prefer the EMD butt plug.

Gas the cabin? The terrorists bring gas masks. Really though who thinks any measure once known could not be countered without taking a lot of time carefully searching every passenger?

Oh, and most of the text of this video sounds like it was written by a high school drop out. Then they get some deep reassuring voice reading it to make it sound better. hah!

I was in Kuwait at the onset of Gulf War 2, when embedded reporters were wearing gas masks reporting SCUD strikes from Iraq I was playing Quake 3 at a LAN. Anyone in the Middle East could tell you it was bullshit, hell the US was maintaining a No Fly Zone over Iraq since 1991, sporadically launching cruise missiles to take out targets. Anything closely related to a WMD storage site was bombarded to kingdom come. UN sanctions assured no high end equipment was sent into the state, which was in severe economic decline at the time used to shore up political power by Saddam.

2 wars. 6 years. Nearly 1.1 trillion dollars in a defense industry at a time of economic recession. A smoke and mirrors declaration of Global War on Terrorism without focusing on cutting the head of Al-Qaeda, instead going on a crusade in the Middle East. Its all about projection of power, not about preventing tyranny or terrorism and or spreading freedom.

George Soros? Oh please wingnut much?

Horses with gas-masks FTW!

No love for Doug Ligon drunk dancing with a gas mask? No? No takers? Aw well... I like it.

Well I agree with you about the statement on day long discomfort, some types of lingerie are definitely not something I would wear for more than a few hours or if I were going to go about an average work day, that is definitely a cotton panties, no underwire kind of get up, but like you said, generally this kind of stuff is not on for that long.

However, what choggie says about the sensation of restriction feeling pleasant for some women, I do have to agree, and I will freely admit that I do love the feel of a well made corset, for up to several hours or more, same goes with garter belts and such... don't get me wrong, I'm glad we no longer live in a society where that is the standard uniform, but it is nice to play and indulge now and again... call me a freak, I don't know, its what turns me on, everyone is different, hence the wide and wonderful range of apparel available to people... also, another way I look at it, is that there are things far stranger out there... I mean, there are some folks who like to be spanked while wearing full body latex and gas masks, I'm not one of them, but if that's their bag, then go for it!

i was actually gonna post this a few weeks ago but forgot about it. a really cool video. mike patton looks even more horror show in the gas mask. great.

Adults didn't make these laws to protect themselves though, they were lied into it. Politicians and business interests made them to serve themselves. The one doctor from the AMA who testified before committee said they didn't agree, committee lied to the full Congress when asked about it. It's in the records.

Refer madness, addicts in the streets, and so on. Turned out little of it was true, but they were sold the lie. Try offering them honest education and a real choice and you've got a point. Do it based on hysteria and lies and you don't.

We knew it was lies, New York Mayor's Committee on Marihuana established that. Same mayor as the airport is named after, widely seen as a hero of the era. He was against alcohol prohibition then when the Hearst and other newspapers started printing horror stories about pot some included New York. He looks around and can't find what they claim, it seemed invented, so asked for his own study. Years later we got the following. We've always known, we just pretended we didn't.

I posted this for you once before, I'll post it again and you can read it or not as your wish.

http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/History/whiteb1.htm

That's a history which covers from pre-prohibition until fairly recently, written by a professor of law and delivered to the annual judges conference.

Here's some of the details they used to "convince" us of it since, a collection of some of the junk science which has been tried on us over the years. The playboy one I especially though was amusing, but all were interesting.

A quick example. They forced Rhesus monkeys into gas masks and fed massive quantities of smoke to them in a very short time then did it again, and again, and again, and when they were done they assumed all damage was pot and ignored things like a need for oxygen. It took a freedom of information act request to even get the Government to share the methodology behind their "proof", and when they did the world laughed. Oxygen deprivation and carbon monoxide poisoning, not pot did the damage.

Does that make pot harmless? Nope. Smoke all the time and you do suffer learning impairment, the cancer scare turns out to have had little to it but it can cause bronchitis with abuse and has some other drawbacks too. Some do seem prone to mental problems being aggravated even if not caused due to it, but that's some. Not all. Too many think it's harmless though, and we know why. With all the lies they have been fed about pot they tend to assume any warning is a lie, so much else has been.

That in a nutshell is the problem with the drug war. Use went up here through the 50's-70's in spite of laws that in places could and did could offer a sentence as heavy as life for a joint. Use went up some in the Netherlands with coffee shops. Use went up worldwide in that time period. Now look at who has problems with it, and who doesn't. With them use today is half of what it is here and the kids don't seem hung up on it so much as recognize it as recreation to be had in its place and time rather than all the time. Kind of like that glass of wine, beer, or whatever else we have with meals or in front of a game rather than all the time. It isn't safe either with abuse, but it isn't a problem with casual use at home.

Today we treat all drugs the same, pot is classed with heroin and we try to convince the kids they are somehow similar. So when we manage to convince them of half of it, that they are similar, then they find we've lied about pot, what do we expect them to think about the harder drugs? They don't believe us because of the lies. It's our own damned fault.

Real facts, real regulation that separates dangerous from mild risk. Not because no harm can come from drugs, but because so much can and it's got worse without them. What I expect is not free use, it's regulated and probably as tightly as we can. We need to allow users enough access to get rid of the street dealers, but not an inch more than we have to. Trial study and science, not scare tactics and moral requirements. At this point neither I nor anyone else knows what it'll look like when we're done if we let the results lead the way, we can just guess. We need to do the work and make sure. If it's a bad idea, it never gets out of trial study, small scale use in a limited area. If good, maybe we've got a way out of some of this damage. We'll never know until we look.

Edited to clarify the carbon monoxide poisoning point on pot.

the chogs hittin the uk! put your gas masks on and do the flemenco...iiiiiittts PARTY TIME !!!!
